The Bahco and Truper brand bow saws are designed as gardening and lumber worker tools. The traditional design and range of blade lengths make these brands ideal for all jobs, big and small. The Agawa Canyon Boreal bow saw comes in a 15-inch, 21-inch, and 24-inch blade length and is designed to fold away into a compact to-carry pouch. The light but strong aluminum-framed bow saw makes it the ideal partner for camping, hiking, and outdoor adventures. Protective sheath – Bow saws have really sharp blades; a sheath covers the blade to avoid minor cuts and injuries to you or your equipment.

It goes without saying that power saws are out of the question. Some of these monsters don’t have the gentle touch required not to absolutely obliterate small wood, metal, and plastic projects. What you need is a bow saw – a small, portable handheld saw that is more comfortable, effective, affordable, and more practical for smaller jobs than a chainsaw. So, how do you get the right saw for the job? Key Features to Look for When Buying a Bow Saw a. Intended purpose The Agawa Boreal features an automatic blade tensioning system, not requiring you to touch the blade when opening or closing it. What To Consider When Buying A Bow SawThe hassle and injury risk associated with power saws make the bow saw a popular tool for smaller trimming and cutting jobs. If used correctly, the bow saw is efficient at cutting branches up to 12 inches in diameter with ease. No smell of gasoline or loud noise from a power saw is required for these jobs. If you love maintaining a neat, homey yard or garden, you probably have an arsenal of tools in your shed. But what exactly do you use when you need to clear some small branches and carry out some light woodwork? How about cutting through pipes, plastic, and even metal? If all the teeth are facing straight up, bend each alternate one to either side so the cut of the saw is wider than the blade. This means it shouldn’t catch on the material you are cutting. The heat-treated steel teeth of the bow saw blade can retain their sharp edge for many years of the blade is correctly cared for after use. The blade should be carefully wiped off after cutting green lumber as the plant juices can cause the steel to rust. A light application of thin oil (WD40) will prevent rust and keep the blade lasting longer. Blades are designed for cutting green wood or dry wood, and you can limit your risk by having one blade for each purpose. Summary

The design of the three-hinged trapezium-shaped frame enables you to cut wood of a large diameter. The blade is safely folded into the frame when the bow saw is not in use, protecting both the saw blade and you from harm. Using a three sided file, give each tooth three to four strokes until all the teeth are equal shapes and the base of the teeth is straight. The time-tested design of the bow saw makes it an excellent hand saw to have in your workshop or as part of your camping equipment. The bow saw is light and compact and can get through cutting an 8-inch diameter green log in less than a minute. Even hard and dry wood is no match for a quality bow saw. Bow saws come in many lengths and sizes. They range from smaller lengths of between 14 to 18 inches suitable for light gardening and pruning all the way to massive 30 inch blades designed for intensive tasks like logging and felling. c. Other featuresDo you intend to saw dry wood and planks to size or cut live branches and shrubbery? Although you can use any bow saw for light sawing projects, there are some design aspects. For instance, bows designed for dry wood have a peg tooth blade that spreads the work reducing clogging while green wood bows have rake-like teeth to clear out fresh waste. b. Overall length Brace your legs so you are in a strong and stable position, and take the saw in your dominant hand, with your non dominant hand supporting it.
